Iraq has resumed pumping crude oil from its northern oil fields to the Mediterranean port of Ceyhan , Turkey , after a suspension of six days, a Middle East shipping agent said Monday.

"They resumed the pumping at 0050 (local time) on Saturday," the shipping agent told Dow Jones Newswires by telephone from Ceyhan.

He said
Iraq was pumping at a rate of 25,000 barrels an hour, or 600,000 barrels a day on Monday and Sunday.

Iraqi oil industry officials said last week that the flow was suspended due to a leak in the main export pipeline near Shirqat in Salahuddin province, north of
Baghdad .
